On Sunday in the All-Star Futures Game at Minute Maid Park, he let the U.S and the rest of the world know.
In the fourth inning, pitching for the World team, Capellan consistently hit 95 mph and higher on his way to striking out two of the four batters he faced. The lone hit came on a single up the middle by Mets third base prospect David Wright on a 99 mph fastball -- the third batter he faced. Dodgers catching prospect Koyie Hill flied out to center field for the final out of the inning.
"It was a great time," Capellan, 23, said. "This is one of those experiences you tell your kids and your kids' kids about. I'll never forget it."
Among the strikeout victims were highly touted prospects Dallas McPherson from Anaheim and Milwaukee's Prince Fielder. After a steady dose of fastballs to Fielder, Capellan struck him out with an 83 mph curve.
Capellan knows a thing or two about work.
He injured his elbow in rookie ball in 2001 and missed the entire 2002 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Upon his return in 2003, he posted a 3.80 ERA in 47 innings.
"I worked a year and half after the surgery," he said. "It was not easy, but I did it. That could be where my power comes from, the work after Tommy John. I know my arm feels good and it feels a lot better than it did. I have the same control, but now the ball moves faster."
Capellan almost made the big league club out of Spring Training, but started the 2004 season with Myrtle Beach in high Class A. He posted a 1.94 ERA in 46 1/3 innings and won his final four starts before being called up to Double-A Greenville in May.
For the season, he is 8-2 with a 2.34 ERA, 70 hits allowed and 105 strikeouts in 84 2/3 innings. He has one complete game, but his stuff could make him better suited for a role in the bullpen.
"I have hit 100 or 102 a few times and I can do it, but I don't do it consistently," he said. "I think I could be a good reliever if I have to."

Lahaina buzzes with a happy energy. The setting is lovely, and no matter how busy it is, you always feel relaxed. Lahaina loosely translates into "cruel sun." I've been there in the summer, and that's no lie! The trade winds that keep the rest of the island cool and comfortable flow around the north and south ends of the island, missing Lahaina completely. The summer season in Lahaina can be stifling. It is situated on a natural harbor and, at one point in its long history, served as a whaling port and the royal capitol.
Lahaina is quaint and has retained much of its historical charm. The harbor is a hub for many different boating activities. There was a fishing tournament going on while we were there. It was fun to watch the fishermen bring their catch in to be weighed.
Front Street is the main drag lined with shops and restaurants. Okay, let's get down to the business of shopping. Shopping in Lahaina is fabulous. Every other store on Front Street is a jewelry store. I was in heaven and finally purchased the black Tahitian pearl pendant of my dreams. I got a screamin' deal on it too. Hawaii Jewelry, ask for Michael. If you are looking for a new swimsuit, this is the place to shop. If you can't find one here, you won't find one anywhere. I'm partial to Maui Waterwear. There are clothing stores that run the gamut, from Tommy Bahama to el cheapo and everything in between. There is a Hilo Hattie's here, but it reminds me of an island version of JC Penny. Art galleries abound, but be prepared to leave a chunk of change. You can also buy locally made island goods, like a carved bone Maui fishhook for your favorite skateboarder, shark-tooth jewelry, and lots of things made from Koa wood.
If you get hungry, there are lots of restaurants to choose from. My favorite is Kimo's. They make the best Lava Flow on the planet. If you are an ice-cream lover, make sure you try a scoop from Lappert's.
Lahaina is definitely a party town, and things get livelier as the evening wears on. I have heard that Halloween in Lahaina is really something to behold. There is a parade somewhat akin to Mardi Gras. The people who live on Maui really get into Halloween. It's kind of refreshing and makes you feel like a kid again.
The downside to Lahaina is everybody loves it. Consequently, it is always crowded, especially on cruise-ship day. Parking is a nightmare. We did discover the secret free three-hour parking lot. It's on the corner of Prison and Front streets. Be prepared to fight for a spot, though. It will take you more than one trip to get the complete Lahaina experience, but that's a good thing.
From journal Marvelous Maui

Before the Europeans arrived, Hawaiian chiefs and kings ruled this hot and dry ocean region. At one point after King Kamehameha had united all the Hawaiian islands, he made Lahaina the royal capital. Thus it remained until 1845, when Kamehameha III moved the capital to the larger town of Honolulu.
During the 1840s the whaling industry was at its peak and hundreds of ships docked at Lahaina every year. Front St. would have swarmed with drunken sailors 24 hours a day in search of bars and brothels in which to spend their hard-earned money. Herman Melville, the writer of Moby-Dick, must have been able to research much of his material in Lahaina.
Lahaina's next boom, a mere twenty years later, transformed the town into a sugar mecca. Most prominent was The Pioneer Sugar Mill Co., which still exists today.
Today it is now the hordes of tourists who crowd Lahaina's mile-long drag, browsing the boutiques, art galleries (such as the excellent Curtis Wilson Cost Gallery, where you buy breathtaking paintings of Maui Landscapes!) and trendy bars or touring the historic sights. Probably the most popular landmarks include: the enormous Banyan tree planted in 1873, which fills an entire block and provides shade for artists to set up their wares beneath it; The Pioneer Inn, adjacent is a beautiful bar reminiscent of a bygone era; and docked across from the Inn is the Carthaginian, a replica square-rigger museum ship.
Lahaina makes a great day-trip away from the resorts and is also the venue of 'Old Lahaina,' probably the best Lu'au on the island of Maui, but also one you have to book days in advance, even during the off season. Another consideration is that car parking gets very scarce, so make sure you get there early!
From Lahaina's wharf, you can also enjoy an 'island hopping' trip to either Molokai (perhaps the most untouched Hawaiian island), or Lanai, the former Dole Pineapple plantation island.

Lahaina, with a very walkable waterfront area and a mixture of historic sites and tourist attractions, is a great place to spend the afternoon or evening. Stroll along Front Street, where galleries and tourist shops abound. Stop by one of the many restaurants and drinking holes and have a "Maui wowie," a delightful drink with a combined taste of mai-tai and pina colada. Dining in Lahaina is very diverse, with lots of fish and seafood on the menu; restaurants feature everything from Hawaiian cuisine to the latest culinary trends. Do not miss Lahaina's famous Banyan tree planted in 1873 - it now shades 2/3 of an acre.
Drop by Lahaina Cannery Mall, an air-conditioned shopping center featuring some 50 shops selling jewelry, fashion, gifts and crafts, and international dining and food court. There is free keiki hula show every Saturday and Sunday at 1pm and hula shows on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm.
For lovers of the art, every Friday night, from 7 to 10pm, art galleries in Lahaina celebrate Art Night. This is a great opportunity for visitors to meet resident artists and see their latest works as well as enjoy refreshments served at the galleries. Lahaina is also a prime point of debarkation for whale watching, snorkeling, and sailing tours. The harbor is busy, with dozens of catamarans, sailboats, and ferries to Lanai sailing out daily.

The shops range from high class jewelry to typical touristy. You can get some great ice cream and eat a Cheeseburger in Paradise. Watch out for the guys selling activities -- you can get better deals at the condos/hotels.
We've been to Maui on two separate trips now and each time spent more than one afternoon ambling along Front Street.

What once was an old whaling town is now a popular spot to spend the day. Visitors come to browse its shops, art galleries, resturants and walk along the ocean front sidewalk.
If you are interested in historical sights, start at the Baldwin House and they will give you a map of other historical sights.
Make sure to stop by and check out Lahainas Banyan tree, planted in 1873 by the sherrif of Maui. Artists and merchants set up their goods underneath it.
If you are looking for nightlife, Lahaina is the place to go. This is where you will find Maui's most upbeat pubs and bars like Moose McGillycuddy's, Longhi's and Maui Brews. Cheeseburger in Paradise also has nightly entertainment.

ELROY, Texas -- An investigation is underway after a fatal rollover crash on SH 130 Friday morning.
Travis County deputies responded to the crash around 7 a.m. They closed off traffic, forcing all southbound drivers to exit at Elroy Road.
An F-250 pickup truck flipped over and landed on a grassy median separating the northbound from the southbound lanes.
DPS Trooper Robbie Barrera says the driver lost control when one of the back tires blew out. It was hauling a trailer at the time of the blow-out.
The driver got trapped inside in the impact. Barrera says another driver who saw the crash pulled over and helped get him out. Two others passengers managed to crawl out on their own. A third passenger died immediately. At the time there was only light fog outside.
Troopers believe the crash could have been prevented if the tire had been maintained.
"This could probably have been preventable. By individuals maintaining their vehicles, make sure that all tires are aired properly and in good working condition, make sure that all the fluid levels are accurate in the vehicle and when you get out on the road if you've got any kind of weather conditions slow your speed down due to those weather condition," said DPS Trooper Robbie Barrera.
Troopers say the truck belongs to a company called Aaron Concrete Contractors. The owners came out to speak with investigators Friday morning but did not identify the men in the truck.
Troopers haven't released any names. They say the driver suffered critical injuries. The two passengers who survived are expected to be okay.
It remains unknown whether any of the passengers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. Troopers say the driver did have his seatbelt buckled.

Im running Kubuntu 10.10 as a host OS and I want to install Snow Leopard as a guest OS in virtualbox. Ive tried several bootloaders from Empire EFI, IBoot and nawcom. From what Ive gathered it seems that my problem is these bootloaders dont have support for my system. I have a MSI 785GM-P45 Motherboard, AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU and a ATI Radeon HD 5450 gpu. From what Ive read there seems to be a lack of support for newer AMD CPUs. The closest thing Ive came to having anything work so far was an Emprire EFI legacy bootloader, it goes to the Chameleon screen and just stays there.
Am I on the right track with this? And if so is there a solution?
At this point im not interested in a true Dual boot setup. I really just want to mess around with OS X a bit and see if I like it enough to set up a dual boot or maybe eventually buy a mac.
Thanks for helping me out.

Gregory, the school's assistant principal, told the students he wants to bring discipline referrals down 35 percent next semester, to make a strong case that the Positive Behavior Support program, which the school has been using for three years, works.
The grant, from the Anniston Community Education Foundation, he said later, would allow the school to add a graduated reward program that could include field trips for students who model the behavior the school wants to promote.
Attempts to reach officials with the foundation were unsuccessful.
The Positive Behavior Support discipline program, or PBS, is a proactive program, Gregory said. Teachers and staff praise a student's good behavior and hand out "gotcha tickets" when they catch students doing something good, he said. Students who receive the tickets are entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the week, he said.
"Any given week at Anniston High School we might give out 100 or so gotcha tickets," Gregory said.
The school system relies on donations of cash and prizes such as gift cards, computer jump drives or notebooks to reward the students. With the grant, Gregory said, he could step up the program and provide more prizes, including a trip for students who consistently act as good role models for their peers.
"The research shows that the more you can get the students to recognize the benefits of doing what they should do anyway, the more it's going to enhance your environment," Gregory said.
Additionally, field trips allow students and teachers to get to know each other better outside the school setting. Such personal relationships could allow teachers to have a greater impact on their students, he said.
The Alabama State Department of Education has been promoting PBS as a discipline tool for 13 years, said Malissa Valdes-Hubert, public information manager for the department.
The main goal of PBS is to keep students in the classroom, Valdes-Hubert said.
Gregory agreed, adding that it could decrease the dropout rate, which is one of the goals of the foundation, according to its website.
"You're keeping students in the classroom, you're facilitating more quality education," Gregory said. Students who are pulled out of the classroom often for disciplinary reasons fall behind in their school work. Then, when they feel overwhelmed by how far behind they've fallen, the students may give up and quit school, Gregory said.
Since the high school implemented PBS, Gregory said, discipline referrals are down about 23 percent. But he wanted to step that up to 35 percent. The school had 695 referrals last semester, so that would mean the students could receive no more than 451 referrals during the spring semester, he said.
Gregory said asking students to take a hand in bringing down referrals is another step in promoting good behavior, by giving the students responsibility.
"I want to show that it can really be effective," Gregory said. "That could put us in a better position to get that grant approved."
The grant is for two years, with a maximum award of $35,000 per year. The deadline to apply is July 16, and the school would know the status of its application within 45 days of the submittal deadline, the foundation's website states.

As I was riding the train home today, I came upon a Ken Rosenthal blog post outlining why he thinks that Juan Uribe would be a perfect fit for the Dodgers, who have a big hole at 2B, a declining 3B, and an injury-prone SS. Minutes later, Ken Gurnick posted at dodgers.com that the club is actually "targeting" Uribe.
I'm not sure if Gurnick was just parroting Rosenthal, since the two posts appeared so quickly after each other, but in Gurnick's version the club was showing interest in Uribe, which is a notable point absent from Rosenthal's story. Either way, this is about to become a thing, so now is as good a time as any to look into whether the Dodgers should be going after Uribe.
If this sounds familiar, it's because I proposed the exact same thing in my 2011 plan back in early October:
5) Sign Juan Uribe to a 1-year, $5m deal to play 2B with an option for 2012.
Yes, he's a Giant, and one with a .310 OBP at that. But the Dodgers are probably going to pay Theriot $3.5m to play decentish defense while being a black hole at the plate. If you're going to pay that much for a 2B without much of an OBP, why not pay just a bit more for better defense and more power?
Theriot has 16 homers in his big-league career. Uribe has hit at least 16 in six of the last seven seasons; his .440 SLG this year and .431 SLG career is nearly 100 points better than Theriot's ever had. On defense, Uribe (10.9 UZR/150 at 2B) is better than Theriot is (4.3 UZR/150 at 2B), plus he's above average at SS and 3B – and provides excellent insurance for another Rafael Furcal injury, as he started 96 games at SS this year with Edgar Renteria ailing.
Uribe's not perfect. But for $4-5m, would you rather a low-OBP guy with zero power and decent defense, or a low-OBP guy with good power and plus defense? Now, it's possible I'm short-changing the contract Uribe would get here, but he was horrendous in 2007 and '08, to the point where he had to take a minor-league deal before 2009. That, plus the fact he's turning 32 next summer and that he entered 2010 as a backup to Renteria and Freddy Sanchez, means I can't see anyone investing a bunch of years.
Now, it should be noted that I wrote that before the Giants made the bulk of their playoff run. Uribe was actually kind of lousy in the playoffs (he got on base just 10 times in 51 plate appearances) but he gained notoriety by hitting the game-winning homer in Game 6 of the NLCS, which he followed up with a three-run shot in Game 1 of the World Series. So if that inflated his market value to the point where he's getting guaranteed big money 2- or 3- year deals, then count me out. I'd like to think that two big homers in the midst of a terrible postseason wouldn't fool teams into giving him more than he's really worth, but you can never count on logic too much with some teams.
Still, if he can be had for one year (and I'm willing to include an option for another), it's a deal worth making. It's clear with the signings of Ted Lilly, Hiroki Kuroda, and Jon Garland that the Dodgers plan on going for it in 2011, and you can't do that with Ryan Theriot at second base. Uribe's not the ideal solution – low-OBP guys who were sub-replacement in their age 26-28 seasons rarely are – but middle infielders with pop and above-average gloves are valuable, particularly on a team that was short on both power and defense last year. You could sign him and install him immediately as the 2011 second baseman, knowing you have another option if/when Rafael Furcal gets injured. Then, assuming he had an option or a second year, he could stay at 2B in 2011, slide over to 3B once Casey Blake is gone, or ideally even become an infield super sub if you managed to get superior options at all three spots. And if the side benefit of that is weakening the Giants, all the better.
In an odd way, however, signing Uribe might almost make me more apt to want to bring back Russell Martin. Rod Barajas is, in a way, similar to Uribe in that he's got decent power and poor OBP skills. The Dodgers weren't great at OBP last year, and Uribe wouldn't help that; bringing back Barajas as well would be a killer in that category. Martin may not have power anymore, but he is one of the better OBP catchers around. Ken Gurnick also noted that Ned Colletti wanted to re-sign Barajas quickly, but that Barajas chose to test the market. For all the platitudes about how happy Barajas was to play for his hometown team last year, I find that decision surprising. I didn't really want him back anyway, and even if he did I'd only like it at a big hometown discount.
Back on topic, Uribe would indeed be a good fit for the 2011 Dodgers – at the right price. One year? One with an option? Sure. Count me in.
Unrelated, but Peter Gammons is reporting that the Dodgers (and eight other teams!) are sniffing around Twins reliever Jesse Crain. I like Crain just fine, and he'd be a nice addition to any team's bullpen, but I don't think the Dodgers should really be putting a lot of money into signing free agent relievers. Bullpen arms are notoriously inconsistent from year to year, making most of them poor investments at the inflated prices of the free market, and since we don't know how much money the Dodgers have left after rebuilding the rotation, the offense really needs to be the top priority.

Planting Ideas
I have a small front yard in desperate need of a facelift! I'm in the house for 2 years and haven't done too much to the outside because I have no idea what I'm doing. What are some nice shrubbery and flowers to put outside a bay window? I would like some to stay green throughout winter. Thanks!
It would help a whole lot to know your general location as what I grow down here in Ga. may not grow up in NY.
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
Green all year. That speaks for evergreens.
As long as you buy locally grown, locally nurtured plants they will survive your local conditions.
There are, of course, different shapes, different sizes and different habits of these plants so decide beforehand what it is you want to accomplish from the plant then decide on what kind suits best.
Some are stiff needled, others are soft. There are colors too---usually blue to green and shades in-between.
Some grow wide and make for great hedges. Others grow high and make a statement in front of the entrance.
For a bay window I suggest a low growing cedar or yew that need little maintenance and enhances the place under the window.
Annual flowers can be planted in front to highlight the evergreen.
Do yourself a favor and scan magazines, and nursery stock pamphlets before laying out money.
Its getting late in the season now. Evergreens can still be planted to attain root development.
But because nurseries do not like to carry stock through winter, they often put plnats "on sale". These can be plants they couldn't sell during the spring/summer and should be looked at carefully for damage or bad root growth.
Price can be a deciding factor but if you buy in season, you are assured more of quality.
Then again, quantity of plants can be bought at wholesale prices at end of season.
So if you decide on planting a hedge, these can be a bargain. Shop carefully.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Loonie,
Most nurseries don't have "locally grown" plants. They all come from growers. The plants available in my area at nurseries come from either South Carolina or Fl. My conditions are completely different from both of those!
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
"Locally grown" means plants that are grown in the climate suited to them. If a person is wanting to plant in Florida, the plant should be so nurtured in the state or in the south part of the country that mirrors Florida's environment.
The old adage works....every time.
You can take the girl out of the country....but you cant take the country out of the girl.
Plants will not survive when removed from their natural environment. An annual planted in Miami should be grown in the southern part of the country; definitely not come in from the north.
A plant that is expected to survive Florida's heat should be "locally" grown to not die the first time the temperature hits 90º.
If a nursery does business with a supplier whose stock comes from, or grows stock, in the Carolinas, then it had better be such plants that can take Florida's environment if they ship to that state. Othrwise they are just handing off problems to the unknowing customer.
Now...without starting an argument...
would a Californian admit that an orange grown in that state could do just as well grown in Florida.
Would a grape grown in Upstate New York do as well grown in California.
Not true at all! Many, many plants adapt to new environments. I have hostas that came from Mo., iris from Indiana & Oregon, lilies from several states including Co., roses from Ill. and some other plants from Oregon.
Nurseries buy from what ever suppliers are available to them.
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
While some plants adapt well, I like to purchase plants, trees and shrubs that are grown in my area. Annuals aren't a problem but perennials, trees and shrubs that are shipped in sometimes do not adapt well. One good example is a Florida grown daylily simply won't do as well in Ohio as it does down there and vice versa. Yes, it may grow but it won't look the same as it does down there. I would be very careful with trees and shrubs grown in a much different climate. I do buy some but I really prefer locally grown stuff.
Fragrant abelia is a great option for your garden. Have a look:
Karen, if you're going to ignore what the geographical zones that are printed out by the United States Agriculture Department then you have no come-back at any nursery who sells you something...and it dies the first seasons.
Plant ARE grown according to their environment.
And I might add, the Stare of Florida is very conscious of what plants come into the state.
I repeat.....plants should mirror where they are grown and according to their hardiness zone.
If you prefer to take chances on the plants you buy from an unknown source....then you are throwing the dice.
Some plants, notably trees, that are removed from their wild growing area, can, years later, show up with all kinds of problems.
Dig an evergreen tree for a XMAS tree, it might do well sitting in your living room, but it might also leave behind dangerous diseases to your other plants that have no protection against it/them.

2011 Chevrolet Aveo Trims
Aveo5 LS
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (2)
The redesigned, European-inspired Aveo RS sports hatch is confirmed and coming… just not this year. For 2011, Chevrolet Aveo5 LS buyers will have to live with a model identical to the 2010 version. That means the same off-the-rack exterior and bare-bones-empty interior devoid of air conditioning, floormats, a CD player, and power features. Reclining bucket seats with height-adjustable head restraints and a driver's seat armrest along with rear 60/40-split flip-and-fold seats with height-adjustable headrests are the only highlights in an otherwise dull hatch.
Under the hood nothing has changed either. The same 108-hp, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder ECOTEC engine, mated to a five-speed manual – the only transmission available – powers the 2011 Chevy Aveo5 LS.
Aveo5 LT
|Pictures (6)
Subcompact buyers eyeing GM's smallest hatch will find that the new 2011 Chevrolet Aveo5 LT isn't new at all. A holdover from the 2010 version, the new LT offers little to brag about. It has plenty of headroom for tall drivers and passengers, with seating positions offering decent comfort and visibility.
The short list of features for the 2011 Aveo5 LT includes standard air conditioning, a 6-speaker premium audio system with CD/MP3 player, front and rear floormats, and two available convenience packages with power features, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, a theft-deterrent system, and heated power-adjustable dual-fold mirrors. The car's performance is even less impressive, thanks to its unchanged 108-hp, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder ECOTEC engine with an optional four-speed automatic transmission or standard five-speed manual.
Aveo5 LT2
2011 marks the last year of production for the first-generation Aveo5 LT2. For 2012, Chevrolet showrooms will make room for a completely redesigned Aveo hatch, featuring bold styling and European-inspired performance. Until then, the 2011 Chevy Aveo5 LT2 will remain GM's sole offering to hatchback buyers willing to give up vim and refinement for bottom dollar.
Virtually identical to the 2010 version, the 2011 Aveo5 LT2 rides on 15-inch steel wheels and tops the Aveo trim lineup with heated, power-adjustable, body-color folding mirrors, power windows, cruise control, a rear spoiler, three months of XM radio, and an optional power sunroof. Pop the hood and you'll also find the same lackluster 108-hp, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder ECOTEC engine with a standard wide-spaced five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic.
Despite bottom-dollar pricing, most subcompact buyers will skip the 2011 Chevy Aveo LS for lack of basic features made standard on other small cars. That's because the new Aveo LS is a straight carryover from the previous year's model, powered by the same 1.6-liter, four-cylinder ECOTEC making 108 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. Also, a widely spaced five-speed is the only gearbox available. The diminutive sedan – arriving with the same tedious outer shell and interior styling – is just as barren on standard equipment as its predecessor. The base LS comes with no floor mats, no air conditioning, no CD player, no trip computer, and no power anything. It does, however, have a standard auxiliary audio input jack and cloth reclining bucket seats with height-adjustable head restraints and a driver's seat armrest.
|Pictures (8)
The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo LT remains identical to the 2010 version. The same level of mediocrity shrouds the car both inside and out, while its 1.6-liter, four-cylinder ECOTEC – the same as last year's – pulls the smallest Chevy from here to there with little to no excitement.
Being the midrange of the Aveo's three trim levels, the LT offers standard air conditioning, a 6-speaker premium audio system with CD/MP3 player, front and rear carpeted floormats, and two available convenience packages, which include a Driver Information Center, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, a theft-deterrent system, power windows and door locks, and heated power-adjustable mirrors.
The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo LT2 bestows no surprises, since this little sedan was left virtually unchanged from the 2010 model year. Inside and out, the car looks the same. So if you've driven the 2010 Aveo – powered by the identical 108-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder ECOTEC – you'll quickly discover the 2011 feels the same.
Like its predecessor, the 2011 Chevy Aveo LT2 tops off the trim-level hierarchy with 15-inch steel wheels, heated power-adjustable, body-color mirrors, XM radio with three trial months, power locks and windows, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and an available power sunroof.

There are many high-school dropouts that have gone on to shape our brave new world through innovation, leadership and business savvy. The alumni list of famous dropouts and their accomplishments is long.
Among others, consider the likes of Benjamin Franklin (a Founding Father, scientist and inventor of the Franklin stove); Jim Clark (computerization for the masses and founder of Netscape); Henry Ford (automobiles for the masses and the first production management system); George Eastman (Kodak cameras and photography for the masses); Albert Einstein (the theory of relativity); Orville and Wilbur Wright (aviation's first flight); Henry Royce (engineering/manufacturing half of Rolls-Royce); Soichiro Honda (the world's most successful engine manufacturer); Ray Kroc (McDonalds); Richard Branson (Virgin Airlines, phones, music, trains and commercial space travel). These individuals didn't just overcome a lack of education, they helped overcome challenges of their times by understanding their strengths and marrying them to a passion that produced extraordinary results.
For every famous dropout, though, there are thousands of uncelebrated ones who also go on to lead remarkable lives—my father included. The realities of World War II England turned him into a 6th-grade dropout. After training and reinventing himself many times (based on his strengths and acumen for fixing and making things out of nothing), he eventually built and ran a successful engineering fabrication business employing over 35 people for 30+ years. Legs of his learning journey included the military (that taught him mechanics) and the Ford Motor Company (that taught him how to weld and provided enough overtime to fund the startup of his own business).
Lingering recession-like conditions are forcing countless educated people to be innovative in their job preparation and search methods—causing them to take stock of their skills, reassess current job-market requirements and close gaps by completing additional training to gain new skill sets. (Today's college grads are expected to use this career-change model many times over the course of their working lives.)
In a recent Uptime column, "Save Manufacturing And Save America" (pgs. 10-12, Maintenance Technology, May 2012), my fellow Contributing Editor Bob Williamson reminded us that U.S. industry currently faces a shortfall of more than 600,000 workers (a deficit that's expected to rise to 2-3 million by 2015). The reasons are simple and result from a "triple whammy" of still-unfolding events that include increasing numbers of skilled baby-boomer retirements; re-shoring of more and more manufacturing operations to North America from Asia; and the dismal state of educational, vocational and apprenticeship opportunities. Successfully confronting this massive skilled-workforce challenge calls for both interim and long-term solutions.
An interim solution
Unlike industry, facility-management organizations like hospitals, schools and commercial building operators employ just one or two skilled trades staffers and an army of unskilled operators/maintainers under their direction to perform an array of tasks and services. In the past few years, I've used the following six-step process to help many municipalities and industrial clients overcome the inconsistency of that model and ensure minimum standards of operator/maintainer skills and knowledge.
This innovative type of program is adaptable to any organization, as it is client-specific in its design, tailored to be easy and quick to develop and relevant, regardless of current skill levels.
Longer-term strategies
Richard Branson (one of our more recent celebrity dropouts and innovators) has gone on record challenging the education system for taking too long to graduate students in science and engineering disciplines (4+ years). Approaching the education system from a business perspective, he argues that a student writing a paper no longer needs to walk to the to the library and dig through a mountain of text, taking copious longhand notes transcribed on to a typewritten essay, but instead can perform research, take verbal notes and have them transcribed and turned in for grading via a computer—in a matter of minutes, not days.
With so many programs now offered online, Branson contends that today's traditional collegiate business model, wherein students spend an average of 100 weeks over 3-4 years in pursuit of a post-secondary degree, can be cut down to an 80-week timeframe. Translation: A degree could be attained in a two-year time span. This frees up a school to take on more students and lower the cost of education for everybody.
The same thought process could be adapted to apprenticeships and trade schools. Anyone who has gone through an apprenticeship knows that most learning takes place in years one and four. The first year introduces trade concepts. Years two and three are usually spent on helper and "gofer" duties. Not until year four are the trade secrets finally revealed.
With ever-fewer skilled tradesmen and women available to pass on their knowledge, industry leaders must lobby government to develop and accept accelerated two-year internship/apprenticeship programs in which basic industrial concepts are taught in year one at the college level and corporations complete the second year by teaming up the apprentice with a tradesperson. This would clearly require the trade definition to be narrower, but it would allow students to quickly assimilate into the workforce fully trained in a specific skill. The intern/apprentice can return later for additional training that will let him/her fulfill specific industry needs in an accelerated manner and build a strong resume´ by adapting quickly to changing industry requirements.
So, discard your conventional ways of thinking. Now's the time to take bold, innovative steps toward building a sustainable skilled workforce that will be adaptable to rapid changes in our new industrial reality. We have neither minds nor hands to waste. MT

History of the Necklace
Necklaces have been worn by both men and women throughout history and, in many cultures, were often used as a mark of distinction. Richly ornamented necklaces were a major part of dress for the ancient Egyptians. The Greeks and Romans wore necklaces made from gold thickly set with gems. Necklaces have been used to indicate royalty or social class; and in various historical stories, the necklace has been a subject of much desire and significance.
Part of the Portofino Collection. Made in Italy. Please note: The cord is 17" wearable due to the twisted metal design.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:

Powerhouse children's network Nickelodeon launched an iPad app that lets kids play games, watch videos, and view full-length episodes of the cable channel's shows.
The free Nick app is a swipe-driven tile layout that works more like a playground of short-form videos, comedy segments, photos of Nickelodeon stars and animated characters, and behind-the-scene clips that kids can choose by swiping up, down, diagonally, or wherever on the iPad's screen.
Nick Studio 10 -- a new live, daily afternoon show -- features four children who challenge each other to make funny content. The show runs on the app and will air on the cable channel in spring, officials said.
The ability to show full-length episodes of shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Fanboy & Chum Chum, iCarly, and The Fairly OddParents is only available to children whose parents subscribe to Nickelodeon.
Bright House Networks officials said customers with Nickelodeon on their channel lineup should first register for a My Services account on the cable provider's website to access the full-length episodes on the Nick app.
The Nick app is not the first kid's application that offers full episodes to users whose parents are paid subscribers to the cable channel.
The Disney Channel app lets paid subscribers stream shows like Phineas and Ferb, Jessie, and Shake it Up. The entertainment giant's Disney Junior app also streams Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for its subscribers.
